Nature's ugly dance

Our faults, they cause earthquakes.

To hault human nature makes

the impossible task,
for we hate to unmask our imperfections.

We challenge fate and ignore our affections

and let the lava bubble below the surface

where no archeologist could uncover our purpose

but then again, neither could you or I.

We fake for no known sake,

and it takes some time to awaken

the person behind the fault lines

which move, shift, and grind
away at the faults of others.
Subtle attacks, muddled facts,
misunderstandings, blundered landings-
each carries us farther from who we are meant to be.
It would be nice if everyone was born with a weather forecast for natural disasters.
